Something I started to late this year. The last couple years I've been working with a young Harris's Hawk that I use for falconry. We are just finishing our second season together and have had limited success . Mostly due to me either not getting the flushes right for her or miss judging her weight. Anyway I was finding she was on and off about chasing grouse and towards the end of the season I thought if I could get her to catch and eat a grouse she might more effort into it. On this I took up my bow for the first time with the intent that if I could atleast hit hit and injure the grouse making it easy to catch she would see that they are worth the effort. Unfortunately I couldn't hit the dang things but it has opened some new ideas for next season. Oh and for the record I was using a bunny bister arrow so on sharp points to worry about.

I shoot snowshoe hares year round especially in the winter. I find my first shot is often a miss because they do something unexpected but my follow-up shot produces which is where having blind knocking and speed shooting plus instinctive skills helps. I started hunting bunnies with blunts with a 45 lb bow but did not always get a clean kill. I've since switched to cheap 3 blade broadheads which are much more ethical imo although you may not get a lot of shots out of one point.

Where are you from, how is your turkey population?
